Thanks for alerting us to that report. As a librarian at a college prep school, I need to know what comes next for my students. At the high school level we find it very rewarding to work with the teachers as we plan the research components of the classes, then with teachers and students throughout the research process. Sounds like, just from the paragraphs from Karen Schneider, many college librarians would enjoy this relationship too. Often it helps if the administration sees the value of this type of collaboration too.
Thanks for giving me holiday reading!

why don’t we adapt our practices so that we are working with the “proxies” for library services — the faculty themselves, who create the assignments, interact first and most with students, and are the referrals for the tools we offer?

Could it be that students are so much nicer to work with? I’m just sayin’

I really appreciate your posts, I am doing a research paper for the last two credits of my BA (which has been sitting for 20 years). I have to say a lot has changed as to: how to research, what is available and who to ask for information. The research for this paper has been life changing for me. now if I can just get it finished by Friday of next week. Thanks.
